“Priscilla was a fantastic partner for us as we went about designing the interior of our new home. She worked closely with us to understand our style but was also not shy about encouraging us to take risks and move in different directions. We never felt pressured and in the end our home completely reflects our tastes and preferences but in a way we would not have been able to pull off without Priscilla's keen eye, fashion sense, and encouragement.”

“Before Marcie I did not understand what an interior designer could do for our family. She helped me when I moved from a large suburban house to a two bedroom condo with half the square footage. The new space needed to work for two home businesses, give our college age son his own space when he was home, and accommodate our six indoor free flighted birds. Our needs were complex and our space small. Marcie was simply amazing: she drew out plans for my rooms, knew where to find furniture that would make the floor plan sing, was an absolute storage wizard, and came up with solutions for my beloved birds that made them happy and looked beautiful. She did all of this in wonderfully economic ways. She used things I already had and loved, and arranged them in new ways. I think many people worry an organizer will 'take over' their space, but Marcie knew questions to ask at every step to individualize my new home for my needs. The result works for my life, my business, my family, and my personality.”

“10/10 recommend Kelsey for your home projects ! As new home owners, we can’t thank Kelsey enough for taking us on as clients and customizing our property to become our forever home. We took advantage of the low interest rates but found it near impossible to decide what to do with a blank slate of high ceilings and open concept rooms that were empty and without character. Kelsey promptly responded and analyzed our space beyond our expectations to correct these issues of a new build. It’s truly amazing what a professional eye can create where we struggled. She was thorough with our consultation and vetted us on color schemes and our overall vibe that we would enjoy with each season. It was important to me that the colors were earth-toned without being overwhelming or bland and she balanced it out beautifully. There is nothing more frustrating (that we came across) than getting stuck on figuring out what our growing family would require but with Kelsey, she listened and gave us a phenomenal kitchen with storage space utilization we desperately needed. Our kitchen is now an optimal hosting feature . I had so many ideas to throw at her and she directed them in ways that made the space cohesive and surpassed all of my visions. Thank you Kelsey brown!”

“We hired Hellen Hsieh, the owner of Design Loft Company, to design our 725 sq ft great room addition. We are so incredibly thrilled with the completed project, it is exactly what we had envisioned. Our existing house was a 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The kitchen and living area was very modest. With two teenagers at home, we needed to expand and wanted more room to entertain. When we started the project we were uncertain if we should knock down walls and remodel the current floor plan and add a small addition or keep the footprint of the existing house exactly the same and add on one large great room. We decided to do the later, however, to get to this point, we went through several different renderings. Hellen provided us with many great options and helped us decide what would be the most economical and feasible plan. She was flexible, patient and was great about pointing out the pros and cons of each option. Her interactions with our architect , contractor and cabinet supplier went very smoothly which helped us to meet specific deadlines. Hellen was maticulous when it came to the kitchen cabinets and made sure everything was ordered properly and our custom stain came out exactly how we wanted. As a designer, she is very creative and knowledgeable. She understood the style and feel we were after. More importantly she was very conscious and respectful of our monetary constraints which helped us complete our entire project within budget. What impressed us most was her understanding of the build process: from the contractors needs, the city requirements, realistic costs and time estimates, appliance installation prerequisites and inspection requirements. We couldn't be more pleased with Design Loft and Hellen's professionalism.”

“I have worked with Geoff on a living room redecorating project, designing window treatments for two homes and general advice on where to buy new furniture and ways to make our space function better for our family. He is so easy to work with, very knowledgeable about design, style, color, fabric, and is always mindful of my budget. He has great ideas about local stores to look at, artists, and places to shop online that suit my taste.”

“Working with Jen was the second best decision I made this year. The first was adopting a dog, which nothing can compare to (to be fair). It’s hard to express how wonderful it was to work with Jen. She redesigned my home to be more comfortable and inspiring than I could have imagined. I’ve lived in my apartment for six years, but it hasn’t felt like the home I’ve wanted until now. Jen helped me to realize what I wanted, and transformed my place from a bachelor pad to a lovely space for hosting friends and creating shared memories. She understood my aesthetic better than I understood it myself (warm, natural colors, wood, classic, masculine). She provided a range of options within, below, and slightly above my budget. She took care of everything from ordering to tracking to installation. Most important, she became a friend. She is such a lovely and supportive person. She genuinely cared and poured her heart into the work. Every guest I’ve hosted in the month since Jen completed the redesign has expressed their love for space, unprompted. Jen helped me to create, and then to realize a vision for my home: the place I work, dream, fall in love, and heal from heartbreak. My one regret is that I didn’t work with Jen sooner to create the home I always wanted. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, and I plan to in the future.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sindhu. Not only does she have impeccable taste, she is able to find the happy medium between my husband and me (we have very different views on what we want). She understands clients' needs including style and price points. She has been so accommodating with our schedule - she is more than happy to meet with us late in the evenings or the weekends given our hectic work schedules. I would highly recommend Sindhu to anyone who wants a simple room remodel or a huge house construction/re-decoration.”

“It was an extreme pleasure working with Lorie and the best decision I have ever made for my home. Lorie is an amazing communicator and an open and patient listener. She has a keen eye for details and provided me with invaluable guidance, while remaining solution focused towards my needs. She was always looking out for my best interest and would go the extra mile to make sure I was content. Her strong business sense and smooth negotiation skills was impressive and made me feel I was in good hands. I highly recommend Lorie Satzger as a friendly, competent and thorough professional.”
